Requirements for marine energy management systems

Marine energy management systems (EMS) are becoming a standard, slowly replacing power management systems (PMS). This is related to the widespread adoption of marine electric propulsion systems and the rapid development of such industrial systems. They not only protect against voltage drops in the grid but also reduce electricity generation costs, filter alarms, support the operator’s control and monitoring process, include diagnostic tools, and allow for the visualization and archiving of system operating parameters. The article presents the requirements for marine systems, their specifics, and parameters. An attempt was made to determine their further development, including protection against errors, unauthorized access, and resistance to interference and computer viruses.Ensuring the supply of electrical energy to the ship’s grid has always been one of the essential tasks in the design phase of a ship’s power plant, as well as during its operation. An attempt to mitigate problems during emergency states is the requirement to install an emergency generator on the ship – an independent source of electrical energy that allows for supplying electricity only to the most important devices for the safety of the ship.
